Ashanti Lodge Gardens

Ashanti Lodge and Travel Centre is stylishly housed by an Afro-Victorian mansion, complete with a pool and more spacious balconies, palm-fringed sundecks and mountain views than you could possibly hope for.
Set in chilled parkland, but within walking distance of the city centre, we offer all accommodation options, including private rooms with en suite bathrooms in our Guest House around the corner.
Cater for yourselves in our stylishly renovated well-equipped kitchen, or fill up on delicious food (and cocktails) at our legendary sociable Kumasi Bar.
Ashanti Lodge is a relaxed, more-ish comfort zone, known for its outstanding security, friendly staff and our buzzing, on-the-case Travel Centre, who'll sort out any activities required, including overland safaris.
Contact us for airport pick-up (sorry, not on Sundays and only between 08h30 and 15h30)

Directions

When driving from the airport or the Garden Route, just continue along the N2 towards Cape Town city centre. Please make sure you follow directions to Cape Town as we have had newcomers go in the wrong direction. Continue on the N2 for about 10 minutes and as you come up to the mountain keep right and continue towards the city - following the signs. Take the De Waal Drive turn-off to the left when the road forks and continue driving around the mountain. Just off De Waal Drive you need to take the Mill St turn-off. This will take you past a large shopping centre (Gardens Centre) on your left hand side and then you drive through two sets of traffic lights. The next road left (after the second set of lights at Upper Orange Street) is Hof St. It is just before the Mount Nelson hotel, so if you see that you know you have gone too far. We are two blocks up on the left hand side.
